saturday morning service

Cary had to organize a service project for one of the classes he is taking. So, off to Little Elm Park we went with some of our friends to pick up trash.  The park is actually kept pretty clean but we managed to gather of few bag loads. :)

Day of Service

Our stake is having a day of service tomorrow. Our ward chose to collect non-perishable food items for our area food bank. I took the kids out last night along with our close friends, the Flores family to romp around the neighborhood and ask for donations. We didn't do so bad and the kids had fun. It feels good to serve. :)

Little Helpers

On Saturday we took the kids over to our friend, Sandy Anderson's house to help out wherever she needed them. They had so much fun and got a lot done.

The kids emptied all of these water jugs and then filled back up and put them back in place. They watered all of Sandy's plants and bushes around here house with the water they emptied out. It became a contest of who could do it the fastest.

Kate struggled a bit with the heavy water jugs but never gave up.

After emptying water jugs they started picking weeds. We only made a small dent but promised that we would come back soon and finish the rest.
I think Sandy loved having the kids there. The kids felt great after helping and checking off all the things on Sandy's to-do list. It was a great way to spend our Saturday.
